Dirk Thanks, texlive-latex-recommended seems to have fixed the problem.
On your "lastly" below, I had installed r-base-dev to help with other dependencies I had trouble with earlier, and it did install r-base-core (but surprisingly not r-base), but my r-base-core does not depend on texlive-latex-recommended. I am using Synaptic on Ubuntu, and it shows the r-base-dev version as 2.7.1-2. I assume the problem is that this is old. Do you know how I get Synaptic to find a newer version? I don't really want the latest everything, just R.

I have also been frustrated at times by the dispersed natur eof the texlive packages. 'wajig search texlive | less' and manually looking helps on occassions. Fifteen years ago I always kept a local copy of the 'overall file index' of all files in all Debian packages by I don't know if that file still exists at the web or ftpsite. You do have the ability to search for files here: http://packages.debian.org aka http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages where you can scroll down to 'search contents of packages' (and make sure you select unstable or testing) leading to (for this query) http://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=contents&keywords=kvoptions.sty&mode=exactfilename&suite=unstable&arch=any It also mentions the more general shortcut http://packages.debian.org/file:path for the search for paths ending in the keyword. Lastly, you can always peek into the build-deps of packages. r-base-core currently has Build-Depends: gcc (>= 4:4.1.0), g++ (>= 4:4.1.0), gfortran (>= 4:4.1.0), libblas-dev, liblapack-dev (>= 3.1.1), tcl8.5-dev, tk8.5-dev, bison, groff-base, libncurses5-dev, libreadline5-dev, debhelper (>= 5.0.0), texi2html, texinfo (>= 4.1-2), libbz2-dev, libpcre3-dev, xpdf-reader, zlib1g-dev, libpng12-dev, libjpeg62-dev, libx11-dev, libxt-dev, x11proto-core-dev, libpango1.0-dev, libcairo2-dev, libtiff4-dev, xvfb, xauth, xfonts-base, texlive-base, texlive-latex-base, texlive-generic-recommended, texlive-fonts-recommended, texlive-extra-utils, texlive-latex-recommended, texlive-latex-extra, texinfo, texi2html, openjdk-6-jdk [!arm !hppa] which contains a healthy set of texlive packages.
